Ha ha ha. Apologies. No offense intended, but honestly, eight years of Bush's lazy-ass 'tuh' for 'to' substitution, and 'nuclur' for 'nuclear', and 'schtradaje' for 'strategy' and now with Obama's whistling Sibilant consonants, well, I just don't think my poor sensitive ears can take another term of idiosyncratic speech.

Ya, yah just remember that she isn't a lame duck anymore or a dead fish floating downstream ..uhh..she's now like a migrating caribou, ya betcha!!

And remember that criticizing her is like criticising troops fightin' for this country and anyone who says , like different, yah know...is some smartypants Elitist!!

I think the Cult of Palin will be just as welcomed and just as beneficial for Republicans and that Cult of self-promoting Jesse Jackson was for Democrats and their fortunes, 1980-1994.

She might be productive if she just shuts her mouth and talks about things she has decent knowledge of, like energy, home and small town economics. But I don't think it is in her nature to wait or take time to work on her knowledge deficiencies when she can read a TelePrompter almost as good as Obama in from of cheering, slogan-thirsty fans...

Sarah Palin dragged us all to the abyss, and I was so frightened that she would be our vice-president with her finger on the button and all of us might be dead at her hand. We are so BLESSED to have Barack Obama who gives us so much hope and change that we can't stand it! Now let her go with her children back into her bush she loves so much and leave us alone!

Palin has served as grist for the MSM mill, her family just a few more kernels of corn tossed under the wheel.

Despite a millstone that normally grinds its enemies into dust, she seems to have retained ambition and confidence, making her no more or less lunatic than others seeking high office.

I myself look not for a political savior, just a leader that can begin to loosen these fetters forged by government which made it for each citizen link by link, and yard by yard, whose weight and length was already heavy and long way back when Palin graduated from high school. But the state has labored on it, since; it is a ponderous chain!

If she plays any role at all in an escape from Eurostate fascism, I don't care if she keeps the hick accent, holds the retarded kid in public, or wears red Naughty Monkey shoes, these among her gravest crimes.

Sufficient money, fame, or power, or proximity to them, can make even the most cacophonous noise seem endearing. Thus explains Tiny Tim, Yoko Ono, and Katie Couric.

Love can do the same, but only mother love proves the most enduring, often having taught that very voice. Marriage can begin with joy at the sound of her laugh turn to cringing, given sufficient time and ingratitude.

Ater she had been verbally assaulted below the belt. Gotta watch those vicious vixens and divisive politics.

Meanwhile we have a racialist (is that a black racist?) in the White House who insults law officers, physicians, insurance companies and the free market with impunity. Note that doesn't include, of course, lawyers and "racial profilers."

Titus nails it. She is the object of homoerotic (repressed or otherwise) love. Sarah is a man's man. Assured, sharp, in control and down home. She is a Log Cabin-style man cave for the chickenhawk fantasy spank bank.

The MSM loves her because they know that more that half the country does not have an gender-bending Oedipus complex variant and will help to ensure longer democrat majorities.

" She is the object of homoerotic (repressed or otherwise) love. Sarah is a man's man."

Your gaydar seems to be on the fritz. Check the Garland optimizer; reset it to 4 Judies and reboot the system. If it is till giving the same readings, the fault is most likely with Julie Newmar oscillator, and replacement is advised.

Unlike Obama, Palin is wise enough to know she doesn't know everything and is wise enough therefore to do less. I would vote for her in a second - anything to stave off the disaster Obama has brought on this country.

Howard...I would never bet against the national Oedipus Complex. It is far more powerful than the Military-industrial Complex. And I suspect that it will easily defeat the Racial-Environmental Complex. Sarah's only fear will be the Acorn VoteFraud Complex.

Titus...The word I hear is that she is politically single, having divorced herself from a political marriage to a very small state. She is single now and available for political intercourse with something Bigger and Better in 2012. I betcha that Sarah running for a national erection.

I suspect one important reason Palin attracts such visceral hatred from some Republicans as well as Democrats is that she's a western conservative -- meaning passionately in favor of robust defense and otherwise-limited government.

For the most part the GOP has three components, often quite uncomfortable with each other: the northeastern blueblood "moderates" who view governance as a certain noblesse oblige; the overwhelmingly southeastern Busybody Baptist contingent; and the western libertarians.

Bush 43 had just enough of each that he could pull it off in an era working against Republicans. His great failing, and that of his party at the time, however, was the assumption that larger government should be used to advance "conservative" -- meaning those of both pro-Big Business Republican bluebloods and the Busybody Baptists.

Sarah Palin and nearly all western conservatives are a tremendous threat to both the Bluebloods and the Busybodies, to say nothing of your garden variety Democrat these days.

The real fight shaping up is between the political classes -- and many Republicans along with essentially every Democrat now favor Big Government, though for different purposes -- and ordinary, productive Americans, most of whom wish simply to be left alone and not have to worry each day about what Government will do to them next.

Bart Hall...You have a point. The "nexus of that dynamic" is in the hands of a feisty point guard who is willing to see the floor and take her shot. The western individualists understand her and are willing to follow her, and the southeastern Bible Belters are totally comfortable with her. The last segment of the northeastern moderates will never like her style, but they will vote for her out of fear of the destructive politics of Obama/Acorn looting way too much loot in so little time.

But I thought she was going to pass out of the double team. Or maybe using her current example, she would walk off the court before halftime, and that tell her team that her quitting was to win and that losers just kept playing and trying to win. I'm so confused. Anyways, she's nuts.

Invisable man...Sarah has been too busy seeing Russia from her home across the Bridge she did not build to try to educate you liberal intellects in how the great players all the time get promoted to the Big Leagues from small farm teams long before the end of the season. So expect to see this Quitter from her Alaskan farm team again when she is starring in the seventh game of the 2012 World Series. How does "President Sarah Palin" sound to you?

Palin sent her son off to war and was criticized for the manner in which she prayed for him. And liberals wonder why conservatives bond so strongly to her. She is the most likeable and authentic person to appear in politics in a long, long time.....That said, I would like to see her at one or two removes from daily politics. She could be to the Republicans what Eleanor Roosevelt was to the Democrats--the soul of the party, not its sinews and sweat..... The comparison to Eleanor Roosevelt is a little forced. Neither Democrats or Republicans can appreciate it. The bertter analogy is to Joan of Arc. In the fullness of time we will all see her as the American Joan of Arc.

Do you think Sarah could get 100,000,000 Hillbillies and Nuts together at the polls loving her and loving themselves in 2012? That sounds like Jeffersonian Democracy in action, the fear of which is something that Harvard cult leaders, Kenyan Kings, and ChiTown Machine Thugs all have in common. So why do R E Lee and others think it is nuts? Are they afraid too?

The point guard walked off the court in disgust before the game was over. She did that because the other team stopped playing by the rules, and instead they played with a rulebook of their own which they made up. Meanwhile, the ones charged with the responsibility of watching both sides, enforcing the existing rules, and otherwise keeping it fair, threw in with the other side. So she left, better things to do.

Because these folks are so mind numbingly stupid that they can look at socialism, Chicago thug politics, and a vain, weak, inexperienced race hustling community activist President and see the ingredients for the makings of utopia.

It's time to dust off and update the campaign slogan of Grover Cleveland: "We love him for the enemies he has made."

Anybody that the AP, NYT, Washington Post, Maureen Dowd, everybody who writes for Slate, everybody who writes for Salon, and, especially, L.E. Lee hates with such an all-consuming passion has to be pretty good.

@traditionalguy, anybody who would confuse L.E. Lee with Marse Robert needs to visit the Lee Chapel and spend some time banging his head against the railing in front of R. E. Lee's tomb in shame and contrition.

Oh, the self-righteous self-pity. Political life is so unfair only to Saint Sarah.

Big Mike...I repent and I promise that I will make a pilgrimage to the Chapel, and I will throw 3 lemons into VMI Professor T J Jackson's monument while I am there. I feel that General Lee would forgive me, but I am not sure that Stonewall would understand such a grievous error.

I wouldn't say it's only unfair to Sara. However, the left has now opened up the option of bringing ethics complaints against any governor running for President or Vice President. Any travel out of state is now a chance to charge a governor with using state funds for their own gain.

They've effectively removed the ability of any standing governor to run for high office.
